Localization

To translate a text in to a particular language is know
as Localization. It is a process by which we
can change a text to a different language and also we can add some locale-specific components.
Swing supports localization in the way that when we localize an application
to a particular language and run it in that specific locale then Swing pulls up
the localized strings from the resource bundle. After this, the
component gets resized by
the layout manager. The previous example
demonstrates how to localize an application.

Undo Framework API

To perform undo and redo, the developers
can use Swing's undo framework.
There are number of actions related to undo and redo which are supported by Swing.
Moreover, it can easily be used with any other application such as if you want
to undo the add and remove elements from a table, you can easily do that.

Flexible Deployment Support

Swing also supports the Flexible Deployment of
the program. For instance, you can create an applet to run your program
within a browser window using Java Plug-in. Several browsers are supported
by it like
Firefox, Internet Explorer etc. Moreover, a program can also be launched
from a browser itself with Java Web Start and can also be run outside of browser as a
standard desktop application.

Integrating with the Desktop

Now the Java applications can be integrated seamlessly
with the desktop. This has become possible with the introduction of the Desktop
API in version 6 of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). There
are three types of integration which are supported. These are:

The host system's default email client can be
launched.

Various functionality of applications like edit,
print, open can be launched.

The host system's default browser can be
launched with a specific Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
